The ICM 1/48 Polikarpov I-16 Type 28 WWII Soviet Fighter Plane (ICM48098) is a 1/48 scale model kit of the I-16 Type 28 — a further development featuring the ShVAK 20mm cannon armament in place of machine guns. The Type 28 represented a significant upgrade in firepower for the I-16, and the cannon-armed Ishak proved effective against Japanese aircraft in the Khalkhyn Gol conflict and against German aircraft in 1941-42. ICM's 1/48 scale kit captures this important cannon-armed variant.
